Beautiful day here! 90 minutes of daylight left!
Caaa-CaaaWWWWWWWWW! Nine straight for Atlanta as Hawks beat Bucks 122-99.
Disclaimer: This might be the most bullshit nine-game winning streak in league annals. Hawks get a real test here on Monday when they go for 10 straight against Orlando.
Check-please timeout from Doc Rivers with Hawks up 24 in fourth quarter. Scrubs coming in. Atlanta will win its ninth straight.
Not really sure why Hawks just lit their challenge on fire, but they're still up 14 with seven minutes left so it probably won't matter.
Corey Kispert is going to get one of these poster dunks to go down before his career ends, I just know it.
ummm .... is Ole Miss actually gonna take this to the final day?
Pete Nance banked 3 by accident!
Bucks cut the lead to 17
Kyle Kuzma with a perfect pass to Caleb Houstan in the corner. Houstan, alas, was seated on Atlanta's bench at the time.
Bucks already up to 16 turnovers.
Five-second violation out of a timeout inbounding at own end. Transition take foul on KPJ after a made basket. Your 2026 Milwaukee Bucks.
Hawks lead by 15 in middle of 3rd.
Halftime: Hawks 60, Bucks 52. 13 each for Jalen Johnson and NAW. Like much of this streak, Hawks not exactly playing *well* but still beating a flatlining opponent.
Not a lot of positives from this Bucks season but Ryan Rollins is certainly one of them. Cooking the Hawks in the first half, up to 15 pts already.
y'all Cam Thomas is putting together some TAPE for the free-agent file today. Gotta think the Fujian Sturgeons are looking at this in wonderment and getting the checkbook ready.
Bobby Portis with a perfect swing pass to Kevin Cutler at the 3-point line.
Cutler, alas, is a referee and not a Milwaukee Buck.
put SPIEZIO on the team!
Getting the one chance you'll ever have at a national title wiped out by a pandemic is a pretty epic bad beat, yeah
Batshit Dayton - Saint Louis ending! Bench dude ran on court to celebrate winning shot but they still had time left!
If a random Dayton guy going on a heater to ruin the bubble is wrong then I don't want to be right.
KPJ pass off Jericho Sims' face. Suboptimal short roll unless he was trying to nod it down into the box for a teammate.
Bucks rolling with KPJ-Rollins-Kuzma-Turner-Sims. Regular quintet for Hawks. And we're underway!

Okay Vandy ... holy crap.
Awesome pre-game Australia vs. Bahamas basketball shit-talking session in Hawks locker room between Dyson Daniels, Jock Landale and Buddy Hield. Would definitely buy tickets for this game now.
No Giannis, no Ousmane Dieng for Bucks today. Prime chance for Hawks to marginally improve their lottery odds.
Greetings from Atlanta, where today the Hawks will try for their 9th straight win and the Bucks will try to keep doing whatever it is they're doing. Special 3PM matinee!
LOL Damon gonna come busting back in like the Kool-Aid man
(pretty sure they meant Georgia)
